Got an email from them followed by a letter by post. Still waiting on 9 or 10 other applications. Also waiting for them to give me information about the GTA and funding which they said would come separately.

no tears left to cry by Ariana Grande on repeat with this one. Almost halfway through... 0a/5r/8p

I was also accepted to the fiction program on Jan 25th. I’ve been in contact with one of the professors, and she said they will likely admit 3 in fiction, 3 in nonfiction, and 4 or 5 in poetry. I think they’ve already contacted everyone who’s been admitted, although I’m not 100% sure. Hope that clears some stuff up!

Form letter rejection via e-mail

I'm posting this in response to some comments below. I received my acceptance Jan 25 via email telling me to check my portal which they updated to include the acceptance letter. GTA position offered with stipend, full tuition remission. I have until March 15 to accept and will do so unless Cornell speaks up. If you are on wait-list, I'm trying to hurry!

They sent an email saying that my writing sample "has started winding its way through the admissions committee."

This is my first response from any school and they said they will notify me about the GTA in a separate letter. Funding is of absolute importance to me. Still waiting from nine other schools!
